Domain-Specific Strategies

Pan-Canadian Health Data Strategy - the strategy aims to support the effective creation, exchange, and use of health data for the benefit of Canadians and the public health systems they rely on. A collaborative approach to develop and deliver the strategy is being taken - federal/provincial/territorial co-development of the strategy is informed by the latest research findings, public health and data experts, and an Expert Advisory Group to provide guidance as the work evolves.
